SAW

The New York Times writer, Stephen Holden, comments that Saw does a "better than average job" at creating the torture games between sadist and victim, but just isn't all that scary. He even gives it a low ball hit by comparing the movie to the physical game show, Fear Factor. The twisted gore scenes is not what gets Holden, but the reason why "The Jigsaw Killer" is out to kill is whats creepy. I'm not sure if I agree, and Holden's evidence isn't too supportive either but Saw did shine one new twisted plot ideas.
